Outdoor and online, the San Francisco SPCA is advertising the ridiculous concept of pet condoms to draw attention to the serious issue of pet overpopulation.

When you dig deeper on the site for Animal Instincts Pet Condoms, like clicking on "learn how to talk to your pet about protection" the site reminds you that the only real way to fix the problem is to spay and neuter. The fact is, of the 6 to 8 million pets that land in shelters each year, barely half are adopted. The rest get euthanized.

"The SF SPCA spays and neuters all of our shelter animals and those at the San Francisco Department of Animal Care & Control. We provide free spay/neuter surgery for feral cats and discounts to local partner animal rescue groups. We offer competitively-priced surgeries for public clients wishing to spay and neuter their pets."

Playtex is running a series of cat videos on YouTube to promote its Litter Genie odor-reducing receptacle. The clips, which show cats singing along to R&B, psychedelic and punk music, are an attempt to inject some fun and glamour into what can be a stinky subject, says Claire Capeci, global business director at JWT New York. "At the end of the day, we're talking about a disposal system for cat poop," she says.
